Not sure about "*#" but it seems that any phone number containing a hash (#) is
considered an "incorrect number".

This is a problem for N900 users wishing to sign up with HulloMail[1]

"For example, i had to dial **004*xxxxxxxxxxxxxx# (where x = number) from my
then HTC Hero, to activate the service."

and I've also been informed by a N900 user in Saudi Arabia, this prevents
checking the balance on PAYG SIMs:

"If I wanna check my Balance on one of my PAYG Saudi sims in Saudi, I have to
dial (*142#) and you read on the screen "Sending Request" after which, you get
your balance."

also from the same user in Saudi, another code which isn't accepted:

"The number that all you have kindly been testing out [**21*1431#] is for
switching a certain service on (where if people call you, they hear as if your
phone is switched off, You however will get a notification text stating who
called and what time)

There is of course another code to dial to switch that service off."

None of the above numbers are accepted as valid in 1.2009.42-11.
